It was propped up against the leg of a picnic table, as if someone had placed it there just for me.  Crispy and whole: a dollar bill!  I snatched it up, with a yelp of disbelief and joy, and looked around to see if there were any other laying in waiting.  What a thing to be grateful for:  money just appearing in my path!  Other great things that hapened on my walk yesterday:

• Running into an old friend and catching up
• A moderate sun tan
• Lunch at Willy Street Coop
• Listening to a Podcast while I walked on my iPod.  (My first one yet!)
• Seeing blue green algae, being mesmerized at the creation of color in the natural world.
• Lots of duck sightings.
